What to Expect 

  • Foreign national payment processing (voucher, e-Form, and SAR)
    Reviewed within 3 business days from date received; processed within 7-10 business days (paid on next bi-weekly calc cycle). Use of the new e-form for the Foreign National Payment Voucher is required for the submission of non-employment and non-travel reimbursement expense payment requests for foreign nationals. The Excel version of the FNPF is to be used to submit requests that are for Foreign Sourced payments, or for travel expense reimbursements only.

  • ITIN application
    By appointment only. Please allow 1 hour to complete the application - typically ITIN is assigned by the IRS in 6-8 weeks. In special circumstances such as significant time constraints and with advance notice, University Payroll may be able to provide onsite assistance.

  • Case review
    Allow 24-48 hours for response to your inquiry.
